[[folder:Order of Preference of Albums that I've heard every one of for each band]]
* Music/{{Queen}}
# Sheer Heart Attack (standouts including "Brighton Rock", "Tenement Funster/Flick of the Wrist/Lily of the Valley", "Stone Cold Crazy", "In the Lap of the Gods Revisited")
# A Night at the Opera (a testament to the band's versatility and a good introduction to the band IMO. Standouts include "Death on Two Legs", "You're My Best Friend", "'39", "The Prophet's Song")
# Queen II (standouts include "Father to Son", "White Queen", "Some Day One Day", "The March of the Black Queen")
# A Day at the Races (standouts including "Long Away", "Somebody to Love", "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy", "Teo Torriate")
# Queen (as far as debut albums go, real good. Standouts include "Keep Yourself Alive", "Doing Alright", "Liar", "The Night Comes Down")
# The Game (Pretty much when Queen changed come the 80's, but such a transition actually did work here. Standouts include "Play the Game", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", "Sail Away Sweet Sister", "Save Me")
# Jazz (standouts include "Fat Bottomed Girls", "Bicycle Race", "Dreamer's Ball", "Don't Stop Me Now")
# News of the World (possibly blasphemy that I place a 70's album here, but I did consider it the most hit-and-miss of the time. Some really good ones though aside from theday Dante vs. Bayonetta debuted) obvious first two tracks. Standouts include "All Dead", "Fly Away", "It's Late" and "Melancholy Blues")
# Innuendo (Some of the songs really is the band's return to form, with "The Show Must Go On" being one hell of a sendoff to the dying Freddie Mercury. Still pretty hit-and-miss. Standouts include "I'm Going Slightly Mad", "Headlong", "These are the Days of Our Lives", "The Show Must Go On")
# A Kind of Magic (This unofficial "soundtrack" to ''Highlander'' can stand on its own in the first and middle parts. The two tracks beforestarting "Princes of the Universe" felt out of place outside of a soundtrack though, which knocks it down a peg. Standouts include "A Kind of Magic", "One Year of Love", "Who Wants to Live Forever", "Princes of the Universe")
# The Works (this is where Queen had changed their style even more. "Radio Ga Ga" is okay, but it doesn't quite stand out compared to much of their earlier output. I really did like "It's a Hard Life" and "Hammer to Fall" though.)
# The Miracle (doesn't really leave an impression onSeason 3.
me. The title track is alright and "I Want it All" felt like the one that leaves the most impression)
# Made in Heaven (unfortunately, nothing really stands out in this album with posthumous recordings from Mercury)
# Flash Gordon (works better as a soundtrack than a studio album)
# Hot Space (unfortunately a miss. Side 2 has some alright stuff, but nothing really memorable outside of "Under Pressure")
More will come as time permits.

!!Tidbits 'bout me
[[folder:Background]]
* Age: 26
* Birthday: November 5
* Current residence: Moscow, Idaho
* Majors: B.S. Geography (Class of December '12; GIS certificate), B.S. Political Science
* Minor: International Studies
* Interests: Gaming, surfing the internet, bicycling/walking, foreign cuisine, looking into international events/cultures
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Personality]]
* MyersBriggs personality: ENTP, though really I'm more ambiverted than extroverted.
* Orientation: Straight, though not ruling out the possibility of a bromance
* Politics: Libertarian, though pragmatic; a classical liberal if you will
** Economic: Pro-Free market and Pro-Consumer; largely minarchist in this regard; the state should be left to the essential roles
** Social: Similarly laissez-faire; Staunchly towards free speech/expression rights, Staunch secularist, believes in equal rights and the right to choose what to do with one's own body
** Foreign Policy: Largely pragmatic; Liberal with a few elements of Realist; intervention should be a last-resort option
* Religion: UsefulNotes/{{Agnostic|ism}}[[note]]I neither believe nor can verify the presence of deity, even so I doubt there's much significance even if there's one[[/note]]
* Grammar:
** I use American spelling though I prefer British spellings at some points (such as using "theatre" instead of "theater")
** Most of the time, I tend to not use the Oxford comma since I don't see much use in them (I can still use it if having no comma doesn't otherwise make it clear, and when it comes to separating entire quotes I would use it)
** I tend to leave differing grammatical structures alone, but tend to be anal about incorrect grammar unless there's a proper context for such.
* I believe that we're a glass half full. It's easy to forget that life in general has been better, but there's no denying there are still problems.

* Steam Handle: [[http://steamcommunity.com/id/earl_of_sandvich Earl of Sandvich]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Tropes I bestow upon myself]]
* BerserkButton: Okay, so I don't actually go berserk, but I get incredibly cross when I hear:
** Ahistorical bullshit that makes the social sciences look bad. I have an interest in the social sciences and I've seen plenty of disproven drivel used under it. And for chrissakes properly back up your views!
** Black-and-white reasoning of any political stripe. Is it any wonder that modern political discourse is fucked up these days?
** "ThinkOfTheChildren" I have lived long enough to see how pervasive this argument is, even to this day, and especially when also substituting "children" with whatever is convenient at the moment. It seems EVERY generation ever has this kind of bullshit for whatever medium purportedly "corrupts society", even while evidence is against them.
** People who use a recent tragedy to soapbox on a certain issue. I don't care where you stand, fuck you for not even waiting!
* BigEater: I do have episodes like this. I do try to be a bit watchful about it though.
* BrutalHonesty:
** Okay, maybe not that brutal, but even in uncomfortable moments I'll lay out an assessment, and I expect the same on the other hand. I'd rather people be upfront rather than have criticisms behind my back that I only know of it from hearsay.
** I may be affable, but I can tell you that when you're depressed or otherwise facing some emotional issues, I'll be blunt with you: seek a professional. (S)he'll help you out better than the internet will. I can be concerned about such cases, but anything beyond that comes across as trite and counterproductive
* BunnyEarsLawyer: I can be a bit of a doof and be a mite childish at times, but aside from making constructive edits on the wiki, I am a prospective geographer in real life. I also do take pride in ensuring that I do my job at a timely manner.
* CovertPervert: Subverted. Although I'm not by any means a prude although being discreet, I don't really think about it this often. However, you can play a game of Cards Against Humanity to see what I'm capable of.
* CuddleBug: Both in the forums and in real life (when I get the chance), I do like to give hugs for people who'd like one.
* MustHaveCaffeine: In the form of coffee and tea
* WillNotTellALie: I'll be as transparent as possible.
Personal Pet Peeves:
* DeathOfTheAuthor: It's a cheap copout. If the author leaves his work up to interpretation, that's fine. When an author really means something in his capacity from the get-go, it's a stretch to say anything else.
* JustForFun/RoleAssociation: I feel that this should have been the one to redirect to HeyItsThatGuy and essentially state the actors and their roles, not the other way around. This? It's bloated and ripe for inflating wick counts. It's annoying!
[[/folder]]
!!Wikistuffs
[[folder:So what the hell do I do on this wiki anyways?]]
* Mainly [[Administrivia/WickNamespaceMigration namespace transferrals]] (of course... peoples, stop, I beg you, STOP referring to works without a namespace (or worse, referring ANY wick as "Main/"; I mean c'mon, it's such a useless artifact anyhow, more on that later), for our collective sakes please!)
* Occasionally fix the all-too-damn-common "its-it's confusion" ([[http://youtu.be/W8YNi6-pF80?t=27s Take it away, Strong Bad!]])
* When I spot a hottip around, I replace it with a [=[[note]]=] tool. I hope that I'll never EVER see a hottip again, the same way I'd look at ptitles.
* Alphabetizing entries, because it makes all kinds of sense and reduces clutter. If the case is that it's a work within a series, I'd sort the series examples in chronological order.
* I used to chime in at times at the Complete Monster cleanup, felt I gave all the input I could based upon the works I actually know, but I keep an eye out now and then.
* Removing artifacts (tropers' notes are not artifacts and I treat them all with respect, however there are features that no longer have use in the wiki (coloring, strikethroughs and text expansion), as well as those [=<<|Index|>>=] things with just as much use to a wiki page)
* Spacing (Paragraphs obviously are spaced, but between examples there is just no need, neither is there such need between folder markups and the examples themselves, although I do agree that there should be a space between folders)
* Dealing with redirects. And how? [[Film/{{Aliens}} I say we nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.]] Assuming of course they don't garner enough links at a given timetable.

* How the lock system is handled right now. I can name legitimate reasons for pages to be locked, but through the current system it takes one guy to demonstrate enough disregard to spoil it for everyone. I think a whitelist or a semi-lock (much like that of Wikipedia), while not perfect, would at least reduce incidents while making the experience more enjoyable and accessible to other tropers. It just helps everyone's bottom line since the "Locked Page Edit Requests" page tends to be a pretty slow effort.
* Bad grammar. While I won't be in-your-face about it, I can have slight GrammarNazi tendencies. While I'm fairly perceptive and open, I can get anal about improper uses of grammar (capitalization, spelling, confusion between possessive and contraction (namely its/it's), etc).
* WordCruft. We don't need to know for instance if an entry "qualifies" for the trope. If it does, it goddamn well does, so no need to emphasize the fact.

!! Hopeful Ideas
Okay, so instead of placing it in the DarthWiki/UnpublishedWorks section (and therefore artificially create wicks), I'll have proposed ideas listed here until they come to fruition enough to warrant their own page. At the moment, I have just one, dating back from late 2012.
[[folder:Fallout Cascadia]]
A fan spinoff role-playing game (tabletop at the moment, since I would need to know programmers to make a game out of this), taking place around the Seattle area, going as far West as Olympia and as far east as Snoqualmie Pass. I'm hoping I can also utilize Vancouver, BC.

[[folder:My Top Ten Suggestions for a Future Death Battle]]
#VideoGame/DukeNukem vs. VideoGame/SeriousSam (if we can get both Creator/JonStJohn and John J. Dick (their respective voices) to do this, it would be great!)
#ComicBook/JudgeDredd vs. ComicBook/ThePunisher
#[[Franchise/GreenLantern Hal Jordan]] vs. [[ComicBook/{{Nova}} Richard Rider]] (another DC vs. Marvel matchup, go fig; either this or the Lanterns vs. the Nova Corps)
#ComicBook/ScottPilgrim vs. [[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes Travis Touchdown]]
#[[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy Summers]] vs. [[Franchise/EvilDead Ash Williams]] (I see both as good matches for each other: speed vs. reflexes, and they've dealt with similarly strong foes; and besides even if it weren't as even as I'd think, I'd love to hear the banter between the two if nothing else)
#[[VideoGame/GuiltyGear I-No]] vs. [[VideoGame/BrutalLegend Eddie Riggs]]
#[[VideoGame/KidIcarus Pit]] vs. [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Sora]] (though quantifying an RPG character can be difficult to pin down)
#[[Manga/{{Hellsing}} Alucard]] vs. [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]]
#ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} vs. ComicBook/{{Thanos}}
#ComicBook/{{Asterix}} vs. ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}
[[/folder]]
I also keep recurring troper castings for Death Battles. [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=6eovb9o80ps6dfi26eyvg45l&page=151#3771 Season 1]] and [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=6eovb9o80ps6dfi26eyvg45l&page=197#4908 Season 2]] have been cast, and I'm currently waiting until there's six months worth of matchups (starting from the day Dante vs. Bayonetta debuted) before starting on Season 3.
----
As for my current status, I am bored (well, aren't we all). [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife TV Tropes ruined my life]], but at the same time [[TVTropesWillEnhanceYourLife it enhances it]] and [[TVTropesAsAGatewayDrug has in fact introduced me to a few works]]. I am also a self-proclaimed Video Game systems index curator, making sure that everything is properly indexed, capitalized and namespaced.
As of now, I am the Herald for the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=awesome It Just Awes Me!]] subforum, so don't be afraid to PM me if you have any questions about it.

!!Tidbits 'bout me
[[folder:Background]]
* Age: 26
* Birthday: November 5
* Current residence: Moscow, Idaho
* Majors: B.S. Geography (Class of December '12; GIS certificate), B.S. Political Science
* Minor: International Studies
* Interests: Gaming, surfing the internet, bicycling/walking, foreign cuisine, looking into international events/cultures
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Personality]]
* MyersBriggs personality: ENTP, though really I'm more ambiverted than extroverted.
* Orientation: Straight, though not ruling out the possibility of a bromance
* Politics: Libertarian, though pragmatic; a classical liberal if you will
** Economic: Pro-Free market and Pro-Consumer; largely minarchist in this regard; the state should be left to the essential roles
** Social: Similarly laissez-faire; Staunchly towards free speech/expression rights, Staunch secularist, believes in equal rights and the right to choose what to do with one's own body
** Foreign Policy: Largely pragmatic; Liberal with a few elements of Realist; intervention should be a last-resort option
* Religion: UsefulNotes/{{Agnostic|ism}}[[note]]I neither believe nor can verify the presence of deity, even so I doubt there's much significance even if there's one[[/note]]
* Grammar:
** I use American spelling though I prefer British spellings at some points (such as using "theatre" instead of "theater")
** Most of the time, I tend to not use the Oxford comma since I don't see much use in them (I can still use it if having no comma doesn't otherwise make it clear, and when it comes to separating entire quotes I would use it)
** I tend to leave differing grammatical structures alone, but tend to be anal about incorrect grammar unless there's a proper context for such.
* I believe that we're a glass half full. It's easy to forget that life in general has been better, but there's no denying there are still problems.

[[folder:Tropes I bestow upon myself]]
* BerserkButton: Okay, so I don't actually go berserk, but I get incredibly cross when I hear:
** Ahistorical bullshit that makes the social sciences look bad. I have an interest in the social sciences and I've seen plenty of disproven drivel used under it. And for chrissakes properly back up your views!
** Black-and-white reasoning of any political stripe. Is it any wonder that modern political discourse is fucked up these days?
** "ThinkOfTheChildren" I have lived long enough to see how pervasive this argument is, even to this day, and especially when also substituting "children" with whatever is convenient at the moment. It seems EVERY generation ever has this kind of bullshit for whatever medium purportedly "corrupts society", even while evidence is against them.
** People who use a recent tragedy to soapbox on a certain issue. I don't care where you stand, fuck you for not even waiting!
* BigEater: I do have episodes like this. I do try to be a bit watchful about it though.
* BrutalHonesty:
** Okay, maybe not that brutal, but even in uncomfortable moments I'll lay out an assessment, and I expect the same on the other hand. I'd rather people be upfront rather than have criticisms behind my back that I only know of it from hearsay.
** I may be affable, but I can tell you that when you're depressed or otherwise facing some emotional issues, I'll be blunt with you: seek a professional. (S)he'll help you out better than the internet will. I can be concerned about such cases, but anything beyond that comes across as trite and counterproductive
* BunnyEarsLawyer: I can be a bit of a doof and be a mite childish at times, but aside from making constructive edits on the wiki, I am a prospective geographer in real life. I also do take pride in ensuring that I do my job at a timely manner.
* CovertPervert: Subverted. Although I'm not by any means a prude although being discreet, I don't really think about it this often. However, you can play a game of Cards Against Humanity to see what I'm capable of.
* CuddleBug: Both in the forums and in real life (when I get the chance), I do like to give hugs for people who'd like one.
* MustHaveCaffeine: In the form of coffee and tea
* WillNotTellALie: I'll be as transparent as possible.
Personal Pet Peeves:
* DeathOfTheAuthor: It's a cheap copout. If the author leaves his work up to interpretation, that's fine. When an author really means something in his capacity from the get-go, it's a stretch to say anything else.
* JustForFun/RoleAssociation: I feel that this should have been the one to redirect to HeyItsThatGuy and essentially state the actors and their roles, not the other way around. This? It's bloated and ripe for inflating wick counts. It's annoying!
[[/folder]]
!!Wikistuffs
[[folder:So what the hell do I do on this wiki anyways?]]
* Mainly [[Administrivia/WickNamespaceMigration namespace transferrals]] (of course... peoples, stop, I beg you, STOP referring to works without a namespace (or worse, referring ANY wick as "Main/"; I mean c'mon, it's such a useless artifact anyhow, more on that later), for our collective sakes please!)
* Occasionally fix the all-too-damn-common "its-it's confusion" ([[http://youtu.be/W8YNi6-pF80?t=27s Take it away, Strong Bad!]])
* When I spot a hottip around, I replace it with a [=[[note]]=] tool. I hope that I'll never EVER see a hottip again, the same way I'd look at ptitles.
* Alphabetizing entries, because it makes all kinds of sense and reduces clutter. If the case is that it's a work within a series, I'd sort the series examples in chronological order.
* I used to chime in at times at the Complete Monster cleanup, felt I gave all the input I could based upon the works I actually know, but I keep an eye out now and then.
* Removing artifacts (tropers' notes are not artifacts and I treat them all with respect, however there are features that no longer have use in the wiki (coloring, strikethroughs and text expansion), as well as those [=<<|Index|>>=] things with just as much use to a wiki page)
* Spacing (Paragraphs obviously are spaced, but between examples there is just no need, neither is there such need between folder markups and the examples themselves, although I do agree that there should be a space between folders)
* Dealing with redirects. And how? [[Film/{{Aliens}} I say we nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.]] Assuming of course they don't garner enough links at a given timetable.

* ''VideoGame/YouDontKnowJack'' (both old and new; got Vols. 1-4, 6[[note]]easily the weakest, and essentially an afterthought[[/note]], the 2011 edition[[note]]if you can get past the limitations compared to the other ports, it still can be fun[[/note]] and the 2015 Jackbox Party Pack, all for PC; The Ride is my favorite)

!! Hopeful Ideas
Okay, so instead of placing it in the DarthWiki/UnpublishedWorks section (and therefore artificially create wicks), I'll have proposed ideas listed here until they come to fruition enough to warrant their own page. At the moment, I have just one, dating back from late 2012.
[[folder:Fallout Cascadia]]
A fan spinoff role-playing game (tabletop at the moment, since I would need to know programmers to make a game out of this), taking place around the Seattle area, going as far West as Olympia and as far east as Snoqualmie Pass. I'm hoping I can also utilize Vancouver, BC.

[[folder:My Top Ten Suggestions for a Future Death Battle]]
#VideoGame/DukeNukem vs. VideoGame/SeriousSam (if we can get both Creator/JonStJohn and John J. Dick (their respective voices) to do this, it would be great!)
#ComicBook/JudgeDredd vs. ComicBook/ThePunisher
#[[Franchise/GreenLantern Hal Jordan]] vs. [[ComicBook/{{Nova}} Richard Rider]] (another DC vs. Marvel matchup, go fig; either this or the Lanterns vs. the Nova Corps)
#ComicBook/ScottPilgrim vs. [[VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes Travis Touchdown]]
#[[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy Summers]] vs. [[Franchise/EvilDead Ash Williams]] (I see both as good matches for each other: speed vs. reflexes, and they've dealt with similarly strong foes; and besides even if it weren't as even as I'd think, I'd love to hear the banter between the two if nothing else)
#[[VideoGame/GuiltyGear I-No]] vs. [[VideoGame/BrutalLegend Eddie Riggs]]
#[[VideoGame/KidIcarus Pit]] vs. [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Sora]] (though quantifying an RPG character can be difficult to pin down)
#[[Manga/{{Hellsing}} Alucard]] vs. [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]]
#ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} vs. ComicBook/{{Thanos}}
#ComicBook/{{Asterix}} vs. ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}

I also keep recurring troper castings for Death Battles. [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=6eovb9o80ps6dfi26eyvg45l&page=151#3771 Season 1]] and [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=6eovb9o80ps6dfi26eyvg45l&page=197#4908 Season 2]] have been cast, and I'm currently waiting until there's six months worth of matchups (starting from the day Dante vs. Bayonetta debuted) before starting on Season 3.
